Mark Ellis to open first Restaurant in February 2017

Former Great British Menu chef Mark Ellis will open his highly anticipated first venture Allium by Mark Ellis in February 2017.

The Restaurant and Bar with Rooms will be located in Tattenhall situated just outside the historic city of Chester, Cheshire and will bring Marks eclectic style and imagination to the food and beverage offering as well as 5 bespoke bedrooms which will open at a later date in March. The property is located in the locally historic Lynedale House building which will cease current trading December 31st.

Mark leaves Peckforton Castle after Christmas, where he has successfully spent the past 9 years and earned 3 AA Rosettes for Outstanding Cuisine, as well as 2 appearances on the popular BBC2 program Great British Menu.

In a statement Mark said “I am sad to be leaving Peckforton Castle, where I have called home for the last 9 years and I wish the team every success, but it is now my time to move on”.

“I am excited to bring my vision for exciting and interesting food and drink to Tattenhall, the location is stunning and the locals seem to be getting behind us which is great news. We are there to cater for them first and foremost, but hope to welcome guests from all over”.

“The previous owners have done a spectacular job and I hope to build on the success they have had”.

Bookings are now being taken through the website and social media pages.
